The London Legacy Development Corporation have granted assent to The Collective for a 19-storey communal block in Stratford following success with a similar scheme in Acton. The residential scheme will be formed of 250 rooms consisting of a small bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette with everything else being shared facilities such as gym, sauna, roof terraces and cinema room. Reza Merchant, chief executive of The Collective, said: "Our first site at Old Oak is now fully let, with a waiting list, and Stratford marks the perfect second location for us.” The Collective has bought a third site for development in Canary Wharf.
